Billy Graham Quotes

I do what I believe the Lord did, and that is walk in love with all mankind, which I don't see a lot of Christians doing. Christians can be so judgmental that it can turn off people who are considering converting. It makes me a little embarrassed, to tell you the truth, when I hear Christians criticizing others.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

Happiness is loving your enemies.

Indulgence is lovely in the sinless; toleration, adorable in the pious and believing heart.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

Tolerance and compassion are qualities of fearless people.

This topic of judging others could actually be taught in a two-word sermon. When it comes to hating, gossiping, ignoring, ridiculing, holding grudges, or wanting to cause harm, please apply the following: Stop it! It’s that simple. We simply have to stop judging others and replace judgmental thoughts and feelings with a heart full of love for God and His children.

Judge not; speak hardly at all; love and act.

Tolerance comes of age. I see no fault committed that I myself could not have committed at some time or other.
